Reflections on the September 5th RRFM

Thank you to everyone who joined in on the community fun at the latest RRFM!  It was a beautiful, sunny day and we enjoyed a steady flow of community members and awesome items through our spot in the park.  Seasoned market-goers and new faces came together to chat, laugh, drop stuff off, and pick through some amazing collections (including a new ART section!) that have now found new homes.

We look forward to seeing you all at the next RRFM, scheduled for October 3.  If you are interested in volunteering with the RRFM please email us at rrfmarket@gmail.com. RRFM LOVVVVVE!!!!!!

RRFM TOMORROW (SEPT 5) at CAMPBELL PARK!!

This is a friendly reminder that the RRFM will take place tomorrow from 10am-4pm at Campbell Park!!
If you haven't been to the RRFM before, we aim to create community by:

1.     Giving space: Following people who bring items to the market or waiting next to them while they put their items on the table is inappropriate.
2.     Courtesy: Take turns examining items.
3.     Sharing: Competing for goods contradicts the market’s mission of sharing.
4.     Friendship & community: We are here to have fun together!
5.     Common sense: The market is not a recycling facility, and cannot accept broken, torn or stained items.


There is also a "shopping cart" guideline for collecting materials; single market-goers are kindly asked to limit their collections to one shopping cart worth of items before 3pm, for families a maximum of two shopping carts. Our hope with this guideline is that it will allow as many different people coming to the market to have the opportunity to access as many different items as possible. Keep in mind though that after 3pm, anyone is free to take as much as they like. Feel free to email us at rrfmarket@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thanks, and free market love to all! 

Only one week until our next RRFM!!

The September 5th RRFM is only one week away! Come out and enjoy a day of community spirit and a delicious meal (PWYC) to follow at 5:30pm!

Help wanted with transporting (September 5th) market leftover items!

We're currently short on help in transporting items left at the end of our September 5th market to any donation sites that can put these items to good use.  If anyone has or knows someone who has a means of transporting items (vehicle, bike trailer, large cart, etc) please send us an email at rrfmarket@gmail.com.  Thanks, and free market love!!! <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

New policy at the August market

We will be implementing a new guideline at the next market (August 1st). From now on, single market-goers will be asked to limit to a maximum of one shopping cart worth of items. For families, a maximum of two shopping carts. Our hope with this guideline is that it will allow as many different people coming to the market to have the opportunity to access as many different items as possible. Keep in mind though that after 3pm, anyone is free to take as much as they like. Feel free to email us at rrfmarket@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thanks, and free market love to all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
